I arrived very late (2 a.m.) and the hotel had perfectly arranged to leave the key in a drop box. When we entered the apartment, it was beautifully set up and wonderful after a long flight. Bed was very comfortable. The next day one of the owners gave us a lift to our car rental place and was extremely friendly and helpful with directions, etc. We chose this hotel because it was cheaper than other airport hotels but still close enough to the airport. Of particular note was how clean it was especially as I had stayed at other airport hotels which were quite tacky. Highly recommended.

Excellent check in service. Room was very clean and small kitchenette was useful. Comfortable bed. Motel provides shuttle to airport or will sort out taxi for very early departures. Would highly recommend.

We had an excellent stay here. Managers, Pat and Bill, were warm and friendly and quite humorous. They made us feel like long-time friends. The airport shuttle picked us up promptly, our room was ready early (we really appreciated that!) and the room had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We were especially impressed with how thoroughly the kitchen was stocked. They even provided different types of coffee and tea and both skim and whole milk in the fridge. WOW!

We were also impressed that they had a complimentary washing machine and dryer on site.

Since we had no transportation (we were picking up a camper van the next day) we were able to order take-out from a nearby Thai restaurant and they delivered to our door. The menus of the nearby restaurants were in a book in the room. Very handy.

This is a boutique motel with a warm, friendly atmosphere and terrific service. They do what so many places can't seem to figure out - provide MORE than you expect!

We chose the Airport Palms due to its proximity to the airport for an early morning departure. Room was very clean, well appointed, large spa bath, kitchenette and free use of a washer and drier. Paid $5 for 24 hour wifi. Friendly, helpful staff. Reasonable rates.

Booked the Airport Palms following reviews on here and were really pleased with what we found. This was a first venture into the motels of New Zealand and have decided they are one of the best forms of accommodation to go for. Given the reasonable price for such close proximity to the airport, we were rather dubious about what we would find, but our room was perfect - clean and modern, with a very comfy bed. Prior to arrival we'd had a few questions, and our hosts had been great at responding. As we arrived on such a late flight and were only staying one night, we only found out when we got to our room that we could have booked breakfast and a late check out (maybe we had missed it in the pre-arrived info) by which time it was too late, but that would be my only criticism of what was a great place to stay.

We stayed at the Airport Palms for only one night after a family visit to Christchurch. Our plane was due to depart very early in the morning so the location was ideal for us. We were warmly welcomed and a taxi was booked for us as the motel's shuttle bus operates only during certain hours. The room was spacious, well-equipped and comfortable. Even though we didn't use the kitchenette it is an ideal feature as it enables guests to prepare their own meals if desired. The taxi was waiting at the appointed hour anf the fare was reasonable.
